‘Underdog’ Lisee looks to pull off upset in Quebec provincial election
MONTREAL — Jean-Francois Lisee invokes two sources of inspiration when asked about his chances of winning the Quebec election: late sovereigntist premier Rene Levesque, and a caped, cartoon dog.
The Parti Quebecois leader recently posted a short clip of the 1960s show called “Underdog,” on his Facebook page, accompanied by a message.
“Just a warning: Underdog always triumphs!” wrote Lisee, referring to the show’s theme song.
Lisee, 60, has made it clear he’s unfazed by polls that place his party firmly in third place, well behind the governing Liberals and the Coalition Avenir Quebec.
